"After the deaths of his best friend and stepdad, seventeen-year-old Blake Thomas can't escape the memories of that night ... the screams ... the blood ... the axe. Now, Blake suffers from social anxiety and making friends at his new home seems impossible. With his therapist's suggestion, Blake joins a social media site called The Reading Budy. It is supposed to be a way for him to slowly step back into social relationships, and it doesn't take long for him to become online friends with someone known as Charley17. Recovery seems to be within reach, but once the school year starts, three local teens quickly pull Blake into their own circle, and soon it appears that Charley17 doesn't want to share his new friend with anybody else."--Page 4 of cover.

The premise of the Reading Buddy is the narrative I wish was followed throughout the story. Instead what we got was a variety of subplots that didn’t feel needed or additive and ultimately felt rushed to complete in such a short read. From a thriller perspective this hit the nail on the head and hit what I want out of a thriller which is why I’m giving it three stars.
